Hello, well people will agree and people won't agree, but i have never had a
problem with my 72, in the 6 years of newengland hardship weather, it has a
holley 750, i fill tank like you said, put a bottle of dry gas in her, go
for a 5 mile drive one way, course 5 mile drive back, put it in storage, put
car cover over and return in march to take her out, the only thing i need to
do sometimes is bring a little can of starting fluid and spray the card and
pump the crap out of it and it fires right up, also u could disconnect the
battery if you choose, i think if you start it up every so often the
condensation that is in the tank will of course go through exhaust and the
water will sit in there and start rusting, thats why i take it for a good
run first and leave it alone till march. Ken, 72 "HeavyChevy" Chevelle

Well leaves are gone, it's cold out, freeze warnings, etc.
So I washed the the car (64SS), added a bottle of dry gas, gave her a dose
of Stabil, and filled the tank.
Now car sits for the winter, hoping for a few stray warm days to start her
up once in a while.
Any ideas on keeping the carb from drying out?
Seems to be the weak link in getting car to start after it sits.
